That's one very cool steam engine Ray, Here is the Garratt its the only one restored and back on the track. When I was a three year at Molong we live close to the station I would crossed the creek to watch the Garratt and only Steam engines shunting wheat trucks and one day a driver of the Garratt gave me a ride in the engine best day ever.

Just thought I best pop in and give you all a heads up why I haven't been around and probably won't be for a bit longer....
I'm not well and it's not physical.
I'm sure you all know what I mean and hope I get sorted, so I will say thanks in advance.
